This is a great summary of the sea change that’s occurred in programming due to AI agents. They were basically hype until December of last year and now they’re reality.

That you can give Claude instructions in English to build an app, configure various settings and take several actions which it not only executes perfectly but then figures out how to address errors on its own is magical.

It’s easy to dismiss this if you haven’t used the latest models but writing code is effectively free.

@carnage4life That doesn't match my experience. The LLM's will still report in error of what's been written. Shipping LLM code in production without thorough review and refactoring is a huge risk. But for prototypes, boilerplate, tasks which are well-solved in the training data, they can save some time.

I agree. I've found several pretty basic bugs in the system even though the code created the tests as well.
